Chronicle

Get out your camcorder and super powers, we're reviewing Chronicle!
I was expecting this to be a fun little realistic superhero movie with so-so shaky cam cinematography and a few nods to Superman. After seeing it, I now fully believe Chronicle is to the superhero genre what District 9 was to the Sci-Fi genre. Spoilers may be ahead. Are they ahead? I don't know, probably.

Sketched TV: The River

Get out your swamp monsters and expendable cameramen, we're reviewing The River!
You'd think after being in The Ruins and The Crazies Joe Anderson would have learned something about horror movies.
I watched the 2 hour premiere(which again was just 2 hour long episodes back to back) and I had relatively high hopes.  With the success of American Horror Story and taking techniques from horror movies like Paranormal Activity, I thought this would be at least a little entertaining.  I was surprised at the outcome.
